Wedding Insurance from Advantis Ins., Alex Pinedo with Orange County Computers and Shay Fretwell at One Time Construction Inc.!!!!
First up in today's LeTip meeting we had Angie with Advantis Insurance!
Angie talked about wedding insurance. Wedding insurance??? That almost sounds like something a comedian would use in his stand-up act! NOPE! It's actually a very smart investment!
So, why would you need wedding insurance? Well, have you ever seen or wanted to have a wedding in a beautiful tropical state or country? Guess what? Hurricanes are very common at destinations like that! How about when family members get sick? What happens when the struggling economy causes your dress shop to go out of business? Let's not forget about the reception either. Let's be honest, people can tend lose their inhibitions sometimes and injuries can happen!
So protect your most special day!
Also, brides and grooms should consider an insurance review because assets are being combined.
Wondering how much something like Wedding Insurance can run? Wedding insurance starts at just $160. Not bad when you consider the amount of money weddings can cost. You may want to consider an umbrella policy, too!
Give Angie a call and protect your special day!

OffSite Backup Services Now Available From Orange County Computer
How Valuable is Your Data?
Too often, many small businesses rely on an employee to back up the data to an external hard drive or burnable CD/DVD. While this backup is better than nothing, it is seriously flawed. Most of the time, the employee forgets to backup the data. Also, the problem with these backup procedures is that if your data is corrupt, you will more than likely overwrite your last good backup with corrupt data during your next backup. Then, when you need to restore good data, there is none.
A surprising majority of small businesses do not have a reliable backup system. Whether due to budget constraints of implementing an in-house backup server or just being unsure of how to implement backups to avoid disaster, many businesses fail to realize that they are placing their own livelihood in jeopardy every day by not having a secure backup system. Unfortunately, some learn the hard way and only after a disaster understand the importance of safeguarding their business data. Why wait for disaster and pay thousands of dollars for an attempt to recover the data from a failed hard disk when you can protect yourself today?
The Closest to Tape Backup You Can Get.... Without buying Tapes!
Many IT professionals will tell you that tape backup is by far the most powerful type of backup you can perform on your data. Why? Because only tape backup offers retention and retention is what gives you the ability to go back to a specific date to restore modified revisions of your data.
OCC Online Backup service is so similar to a tape backup procedure that many experienced IT professionals cannot tell the difference between a tape based backup and our online service. Why is our system better? You get all the benefits of a tape based backup without purchasing tapes or the hassle of failing equipment. Plus, your data is already stored offsite.
First, we backup your computers and/or servers every day effortlessly and automatically. Second, your data is backed up in a tape-like fashion where you can restore your data from any backup within the last year or more. (Retention is set by you).Last, your data is held safely and securely offsite in case of a fire or burglary. Your data is stored on two completely separate, fully redundant servers.
Backup Services Pricing Structure:
OCC Online Backup Services support desktop and server environments to include:
Windows XP, Windows Vista, MAC OS, Linux, Windows SBS, Exchange, SQL Server, Oracle, Lotus/Domino Notes
6 Month Backup Service Agreement
One Time Setup Fee: $125.00
Initial License Fee: $50.00
$5 per GB for the 1st 100GB per month
$3 per GB for additional storage per month

$4 per GB for the 1st 100GB per month

Estate Planning, Videography & German Wine!!!!
First up was Brent Pickelsimer, our Long Beach estate planning attorney!
Brent is a part time judge, so he's always thinking about what would happen if you ended up in court.
He protects you from many directions, because he's seen so much in the courtroom. He'll anticipate what your personal needs are (disgruntled relatives, 18 yo inheriting millions) ask him about his 'dragnet' strategy that includes all your property that you haven't even bought yet. Other lawyers do not do this on purpose. Why you as might ask??? So they can keep charging you!!! You can rest assured that Brent doesn't do business like that!
50% of his litigation's are people who tried to do their own will and trust online. I have heard nothing but nightmarish stories of this... Don't do it!!! You're talking about everything you worked for your whole life and having it all put on the line, by doing it yourself online!!! You can't go back and fix your trust if you die, just do it right the first time to ensure your assets go where you intend them to go.
